"Bite your teeth", "scratch your stomach"... are the complaints of workers working in industrial zones across the country when forced to send their children to spontaneous preschools, because there is no other way - like their sharing with Labor reporters.
Among the many reasons why workers are forced to entrust their children to spontaneous kindergartens, the top reasons are still cost savings and time difference to pick up children when they often have to work overtime, while public schools Established, pick-up and drop-off of children must follow office hours.
However, handing children over to spontaneous kindergartens does not guarantee quality and is always lurking with risks, the most common of which is violence.
Across the country, there have been many, many examples of unsafe children in spontaneous kindergartens. The most recent and topical case is the death of a boy in a spontaneous babysitting group on DJ4 Street, Quarter 3B, Thoi Hoa Ward, Ben Cat Town, Binh Duong Province, which is causing anger in public opinion because of signs of killing.
Spontaneous kindergarten is the intersection between two of the "three bottlenecks" when there is both a lack of schools and classes and "unequal access" that Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh mentioned. out, requested a quick fix at the recent meeting of the National Committee for Education Innovation and Training on "innovation and development of preschool education to 2, vision to 3".
Preschool education, according to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, plays a particularly important role in the national education system, in the strategy for developing human resources and developing the people of Vietnam. That building and developing people needs to be laid with a solid foundation from the first years of life.
In laying this "foundation", over the years we have done quite well with statistics: The whole country has 212 district-level units with industrial parks and export processing zones established with 14.204 preschool education establishments. non-public schools (3.175 public schools, 1.991 non-public schools and 9.038 independent non-public establishments).
Preschool education facilities mobilize more than 1,7 million children; In which the majority of workers' children are raised, cared for, and educated at independent, non-public preschool education establishments.
However, reality requires that this "foundation" be laid even better. The starting point is to have "equal access" by having policy mechanisms to mobilize all resources for preschool education.
Especially policies on taxes, land access, and credit; socialization... to "eliminate" or change the operating mechanism of spontaneous kindergartens with almost no expertise in raising children.
The "foundation" of education, construction, and human development cannot be built or entrusted even to spontaneous kindergartens so that poor workers have to "bite their teeth" or "suffer their stomachs" when sending their children. I entered like now. It must be replaced soon with educational facilities that ensure quality and absolute safety.
